Notifications missing :(
Please, add the notification options!
Need Push Notifications
Missing push notifications, this is a critical business function, eagerly awaiting release so we can begin using the product again. Will gladly update the review upon release of the notifications feature.
Good start
No iPad support, needs notification server properly wired up as I do not get notifications. Incredibly difficult to wire up to remote agent on another machine, does not easily allow revocation of other devices that are logged in, and there’s not really a clear agent instruction as to wire itself into Buzz.

Still using it but please bring notifications on IOS app
Buzz has huge potential, but notifications need to be the #1 priority
We moved our entire company from Slack to a self-hosted Buzz community, and overall we genuinely like the product. Messaging, channels, the native apps, and the self-hosted experience have been working well for us.
The biggest problem — and one that I think could hurt Buzz adoption while there is so much momentum around the project — is native notifications.
In-app notifications work, but reliable device notifications do not. If Buzz isn’t open, our employees can easily miss messages. For a business communication product, this is a critical feature rather than a nice-to-have.
For self-hosted communities using the official Buzz mobile apps, I would strongly encourage the team to prioritize the remaining push-notification work, particularly:
#5206 — self-hosted relay + official iOS app push support
#7682 — mobile RelayConfig reconnect loop preventing reliable NIP-PL lease publication
#6092 — Android FCM/client push implementation
#3229 — FCM transport in the push gateway
The recent NIP-PL and push-gateway work is very encouraging, especially now that end-to-end push has been demonstrated against a self-hosted relay. What we really need next is for this to reach the official App Store/Play Store apps, so users of self-hosted communities can receive reliable background notifications without maintaining their own mobile builds.
I think this deserves very high priority. Buzz has a lot of attention right now, and companies like ours are willing to move away from Slack. But if employees miss important messages because the app was closed, businesses may have no choice but to move back.
We want to stay on Buzz. Getting reliable notifications into the official apps would remove by far the biggest issue we’ve encountered with the migration.

Incredibly promising, lots of bugs
Buzz is theoretically amazing and potentially the best available way to collaborate with multiple AI agents and people. Having said that, there are still lot of bugs in both the desktop and mobile apps, but particularly in this mobile app. This app also lacks lots of the settings available in the desktop version, and doesn’t send notifications properly. If they can fix all this, it will be great!

buzz does it without a fuss
I setup a completely local team of agents on a raspverry4 and it's all so smooth it makes you love life, vamos
I love this
Some bugs present but I expect the future of this.
Go Make your Billions
Idea and implementation is clean, good devs behind this
Like driving a ragged out import
Buzz is incredible. Like really incredible and truly easy to use.
I have it running on a VPS, my laptop, and my phone, all on my tailnet.
If the mobile app was just more reliable about rendering chats as well as they do in the desktop apps, and I could see forums on the mobile version, I would be a lot happier. But I’m rooting for buzz. It’s a fantastic free and open source project.
I’ll also say that Buzz for me has turned into less of an AI code editor and more of a place to manage infrastructure and do odd tasks. From a front to back YouTube content pipeline, a podcast generator that runs from my codebase that I can just send requests to my buzz agents for, to managing my website SEO.
For now, I’ll stick to threads in an ide for my main projects. There is a degree of control and transparency that you loose with agents and en environment that seem to be designed more for completing tasks. That’s not to say that it is a bad idea to build actual software in buzz but for now it’s just not doing it for me.
Great job Block team. 👍🏽

Getting there
I see the vision and wish to embrace it. Please keep working on this.
I like the native integration with local agents.
Please add GrokBot to your list.
Installation and management needs to be simplified. It does not work out of the box.

Notifications don’t work
Kind of defeats the purpose.
My new HQ for hermes and open claw and claude
I use buzz for a one stop shop. No need to use telegram for agents any more.
Saved my sanity
I don’t think I could live without this now.
love buzz but iOS app is so broken
I love buzz on desktop client and we are migrating our team to our self hosted buzz community for collaborative coding and knowledge work in a broader way.
However, the iOS app is broken.
scrolling does not work in sidebar as long as momentum of previous scrolling is still there.
notifications seem to get lost.
scrolling inside threads is also quite unresponsive.
and the issue that makes the app unusable: when scrolling to the bottom of a thread something gets hung up. The scrolling get stuck in an endless loop of jumping up and down 2 times per second. my temporary solution is to never scroll completely to the end of a thread to avoid getting stuck in this scrolling-jump-loop.
Looking forward to see the iOS app being usable at a minimum level so I can rate it 5 stars again. thank you for buzz

Awesome early version with some bugs
This changes everything when it comes to working with agents. I'm not getting push notifications or proactive messages through here. This may be due to my own configuration issues, but I think it is a bug
Good but buggy
I have to force quit the app to see responses show up
Still needs work
I’ve been using the desktop application and have been extremely impressed with what the team has created, it is truly remarkable, but unfortunately this application lets the ecosystem down initially on early use.
It’s Clean and has a fantastic UI and looks like it’s the perfect mobile communication between user and agents. Unfortunately in reality and real life use I’m extremely frustrated with the mobile app.
I don’t get replies from my agents although the replies do come through on desktop app.
The messages sometimes do eventually come through but after around 5 to 10 minutes and I think that is just the mobile application refreshing with the relay, it doesn’t seem to be a true live messaging system.
You’re limited to what settings and adjustments you can make within the app.
There is currently to date no push notifications.
I think once the bugs are ironed out and some additional features can be added I adjust my review, but with this current build I’m only confident giving the mobile app three stars, but I would quite happily give the desktop application five.
I do appreciate this is a very early release so hopefully the team can take the feedback constructively and I look forward to seeing it develop and grow.

Fantastic
Needs some work, but great potential
Almost good
I would really love to use this full my full “hive” of agents, but as self hosting is very important for me there is a big blocker to fully adopting this. Mobile notifications just do not work for self hosted relays. Despite a self-hostable 'push gateway' existing, it's tied to the app's own Apple/Google identity, so for the stock mobile app on a private relay you get no lock-screen notifications at all. Ntfy/UnifiedPush-style decoupled push (which other Nostr apps use) would make this a non-issue. Fix that and Buzz would be a perfect new layer to my personal AI stack.

Amazing… but still early
Using this as a centralized hub for all things Hermes, Openclaw, and Codex. The desktop app is so good, but there’s definitely plenty of bugs for now in this mobile app. Hoping they clear up as the updates keep coming!
